Morning Docket: 05.04.16
* At long last, the ABA has released the final version of its employment statistics for the law school class of 2015. Ten months after graduation, 59.2 percent of the class was employed in long-term, full-time jobs where bar passage was required, but there's been a sharp decline in the number of those jobs since 2014. We'll have more on this later. [WSJ Law Blog] * Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called probate: Earlier this week, Judge Kevin Eide appointed Bremer Trust National Association as the special administrator of music icon Prince's estate. Prince is said to have died without a will, but all of his presumptive heirs agreed to the appointment.

Let's celebrate all of the children who will soon be welcomed into good, loving homes. [BuzzFeed News] * Australian law firm Slater & Gordon, the biggest firm Down Under and the world's first law firm to be publicly traded, narrowly avoided going under after a $700 million loss thanks to a deal with its bankers. Beware, stock market bidders, because the firm still remains a "high-risk investment" due to its "uncertainty." [Sydney Morning Herald] * The University of Tulsa John Rogers Hall College of Law is deciding whether or not it should change its name to remove a founder who had ties to the Ku Klux Klan. Law school administrators have already recommended that Rogers's name be removed, and after some discussion, trustees will vote on the proposal later today. [Associated Press]
